| Brief description | Obi (sash), polyester with design of jellyfish, designed by Iroca, Japan, 2016 |
| Gallery label | This vibrant ensemble by Iroca features a broken war plane submerged in the ocean. This politically charged motif reflects designer Ishikawa Narutoshi’s (b.1965) desire for an end to conflict. For Ishikawa, who started out by making obi accessories, all aspects of Japanese dress should be contemporary. This ambition is achieved through his vivid use of colour, imaginative patterns and unusual materials.
